exa-observabilityInstrument Exa calls with content-free metrics, traces, cost, and asynchronous lifecycle signals that support diagnosis without logging retrieved text.
Exa Observability is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Instrument Exa calls with content-free metrics, traces, cost, and asynchronous lifecycle signals that support diagnosis without logging retrieved text. Use when operating or reviewing this Exa boundary. Trigger with "Exa observability", "review Exa observability", or "fix Exa observability".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Observability and Async programming. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrepWriteEditFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
EXA_API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Exa Observability loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Instrument Exa calls with content-free metrics, traces, cost, and asynchronous lifecycle signals that support diagnosis without logging retrieved text. Treat credentials, queries, retrieved content, generated output, spend, and destructive state as separately governed boundaries.
Exa responses expose request IDs and often costDollars; errors expose status and tags; Contents exposes per-URL statuses. Agent, Monitor, Webset, and Batch operations add IDs, states, queues, events, and terminal outcomes that must be reconciled separately.
For normal REST work, inject EXA_API_KEY from an approved server-side secret manager and send it only as Authorization: Bearer to the configured first-party Exa API host. Team Management service keys, hosted MCP OAuth or enterprise managed authorization, and payment-protocol calls are separate trust models. Never print, commit, place in a URL, or expose a credential to an untrusted client.
Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect repository code, configuration, fixtures, and evidence. Use Write and Edit only for approved implementation or documentation changes. Do not call Exa, run paid research, create or alter a Monitor, Webset, Agent run, Batch, team, member, API key, budget, webhook, or deployment merely because this skill was invoked.
Require an accountable owner before live queries involving sensitive intent, production credentials, spend or rate-limit changes, forced live crawling, generated summaries, external delivery, deployment, member or key changes, schedule creation, or destructive cancellation, stopping, deletion, or revocation. Read-only repository inspection and synthetic offline validation do not authorize live vendor actions.
Return the operation scope, environment, team and product surface, authorization class, contract and policy decisions, deterministic validation results, content-free identifiers, status and cost counts, risks, cleanup or rollback state, and a concise pass or fail receipt. Exclude credentials, raw queries, prompts, presigned URLs, retrieved content, generated output, and customer-derived data unless separately approved.
Rerun the smallest relevant deterministic test, compare actual behavior with the requested outcome and current first-party contract, verify sensitive fields are absent from evidence, and confirm deadlines, terminal state, downstream retention, and rollback before reporting success.
Review the dated first-party evidence map before relying on any endpoint, parameter, search type, price, limit, beta, compliance, identity, retry, or lifecycle claim.

Exa Observability is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Instrument Exa calls with content-free metrics, traces, cost, and asynchronous lifecycle signals that support diagnosis without logging retrieved text.
Exa Observability fits situations like: reviewing this Exa boundary; with Exa observability; review Exa observability; fix Exa observability.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill exa-observability -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/exa-observability in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .claude/skills/exa-observability in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill exa-observability -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/.curated/exa-observability in jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace) into .agents/skills/exa-observability in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace --skill exa-observability -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/exa-observability, .gemini/skills/exa-observability, .github/skills/exa-observability and .opencode/skills/exa-observability in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Exa Observability needs credentials named EXA_API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in EXA_API_KEY. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live Exa work requires network access.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Exa Observability is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 459 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
